Fight for Our Democracy
You and your friends are the leaders who aren’t afraid to bring the truth to our neighbors. You and your friends are the leaders who aren’t afraid to pushback as Republicans implement their Project 2025. To grow the power of our people by helping us to thwart the efforts of a Republican-led oligarchy in its destruction of our republic, the Franklin County Democratic Committee is inviting you to participate in a series of direct actions. Your action is needed NOW! Fascism is not at the door. . . it is in our Oval Office! It’s here. Today. Actions are occurring all over the country. Big and small actions. They are all significant. We must be at every corner. See the schedule of actions below and use the links to learn more and sign up on Mobilize – or just show up! The actions will take place on Saturdays from noon to 1 pm, throughout the county, rain or shine. Check the FCDC Facebook page for the most recent updates.

“Die-In” Protests for Health Care
Die-In Protests at Rep. John Joyce’s Office
100 Lincoln Way East, Chambersburg
Mondays, 9 am
Rep. John Joyce voted in favor of H.B.1 which will severely impact the health of our community. We will hold a “die-in” in the square across from his office every Monday morning. For those able to lie down, make a “tombstone” and bring a thick towel, yoga or camping mat. For those who can’t lie down, bring a sign and mourn your fallen neighbors! Can’t participate, but are in the area? Drive by and honk your support!
